"I'll leave this matter to me!" Westin had not been in the north for long, and he did not have an in-depth understanding of how the northerners lived, although he saw the dense flow of people and the hustle and bustle of the factory, he did not have the slightest envy. This is understandable, as he has already felt the heavy pressure on the workers of the North.

Moreover, the pressure of life in the south itself is much lower than that in the north, and with the same salary, white people in the south do not need to bear heavy physical strength, these heavy physical jobs are all done by black slaves, and Westin has no way to do it even if he wants to, according to Sheffield's words, I don't want it for nothing, and the speed of work is not as good as a bought black slave, and the progress of work is delayed by white people.

Westin had been there for less than a month, and what he saw was a worker who did heavy daily labor and was paid a paltry salary, and he was jaw-dropping at the degree to which the factory owner was stingy. Westin also despised the thinking of the northerners, who seemed to him to have spent all the cells in their heads on squeezing. Unlike the South, which was based on the exploitation of black slaves, the North oppressed white people of the same color.

Sheffield didn't ask much, Westin had already expressed all his grievances, and the degree of simplicity was much beyond Sheffield's expectations, "I only heard from the history books that the capitalists of this era were shameless, but I haven't really seen them, is it really despised by slave owners?" ”

Sheffield really can't imagine that Westin, who is also a member of the slave owners' side, would occupy the moral high ground in front of him and criticize the northerners, what did the northerners do that even the reactionary classes in history look down on?

Westin has lived in the south since he was a child, and it can be said that in addition to the slave keeping that makes the Yankee have nothing to say, the degree of importance to the family or the loyalty to the faith in the south is far stronger than that from the north. All immoral things are faced with black slaves, and everyone is basically equal among white people, and the only difference is the number of slaves under their names.

"I've passed by a paper mill and the smell can be smelled five miles away, and I wonder how long I'll live if I work in that environment, and there's a cement mill where the nearby forests are all grey and there's no one hanging their clothes outside in a small town!" Westin said with trepidation, "I still think New Orr is ......."

Sheffield really wants to say that Westin's view is a bit generalized, this is simply a hatred of industry, no wonder the Democratic Party's ideal of an agricultural empire is so popular in the south, but it is repeatedly sniped by the Whigs in the north, "The cement plant itself will cause a lot of dust, and everyone in later generations will know that working in the cement factory will have problems breathing!" As for the paper mills, Sheffield has the impression that one of the general conditions of the paper mill is that it needs a lot of water, and it is better to build a sewage ...... on the riverside."

"If I start a chemical plant, will this guy oppose me?" Sheffield secretly glanced at Westin, he, an undetermined slave owner, would he be ostracized by the South if he was discovered?

"I brought it from the attic, Daddy asked me to hand it over to you, from Mexico!" Westin patted his head and said regretfully, "I just remembered it, it should be Uncle Sheffield's letter, I don't know what the good news is......"

"Oh?" Sheffield didn't dare to slack off when he heard this, and immediately took it apart to see what the old Sheffield wrote, "We have captured Saltillo, and we have encountered strong resistance from the Mexicans, but for us these are nothing, the expansion of the United States is an irresistible number of days, I heard that the westward expansion has entered New Mexico and California, but the consolidation of the newly occupied areas still depends on us, if we do not defeat the main force of Mexico, the territory occupied by the westward expansion troops is temporary, General Taylor has decided to rest in Saltillo for a month, and I already feel that a big war is not far off! ”

Sheffield turned to the second page, "Compared to the fierceness of the battle, the most unbearable thing is the pervasive disease, many soldiers fall under malaria, but we can't do anything!" The number of soldiers who died from wound infections far exceeded those who died directly in battle, and watching these soldiers wail in pain, we survivors could not help them......"

At present, the standard equipment of the U.S. military in the Mexican-American War is the Springfield 1816 flintlock pistol, and Sheffield's impression seems that the flintlock pistol can easily cause wound infection.

"In general it is going well, but the president of Mexico is already gathering troops!" Sheffield stuffed back the envelope and put the letter in the drawer, "Daddy has mentioned twice that malaria is raging in the army, and many advanced technologies are still in Europe, I really want to buy a batch of machines to eliminate the disease......"

"Is it true that our bodies can't keep up with the black slaves?" Westin smiled bitterly and said, "The black slave's body is much better than ours, with strong explosive power and the ability to resist diseases!" Sometimes I envy their physical ......"

"Do you envy their intelligence?" Sheffield's smiling rhetorical question immediately shut up Westin, who was at a disadvantage in later generations in the United States for the sake of political correctness and never mentioned the IQ of blacks, and banned research in this area in the scientific community. But facts are facts, and intuitive statistics show that black people are really poor in learning ability. At least the current southern United States still dares to say this openly, far less hypocritical than later generations, patted Westin on the shoulder, Sheffield relieved, "It is very normal for humans to have some nuances because of different habitats!" Asians have thinner bodies! "Brains are smarter! However, Sheffield did not say the latter.

After Westin returned, Sheffield gathered the white overseers of the three plantations and the freedmen of the hired relationship, and of course, Henry, a small slave owner who depended on the income of the plantation, and asked Westin to select overseers who were good at riding and marksmanship, and trained on the cotton plantation after harvesting every day, and these twenty or so overseers would follow the stronghold of the Underground Railroad, and each one found would send someone back to inform them, Sheffield and Redden and Henry stayed on the plantation, waiting for the fugitive slave to happen and report it to Taylor Manor and other families.

The people of the Underground Railway frequently contacted Martin, ready to lead Martin to freedom, Martin's attitude changed from fear to recognition, and finally agreed to lead the black slaves to escape with his friends, and this batch of black slaves was naturally the one who had just been bought. Driven to freedom, Martin returned to the plantation and laid out all his plans and succumbed to Sheffield's ugly slave owner.

"Well done, the time is set?" Sheffield scratched his somewhat prickly scalp, blew his dandruff lightly, and cynically said, "How does it feel to cheat white people?" Do you feel very happy? ”

"We are only loyal to our benevolent masters!" Martin's face changed, and he quickly expressed his loyalty to Sheffield, "Those people didn't say it, they just let me find my own chance, and they will answer our ......"

"Very good, go back and prepare, after you come back, you will assist the overseer in managing the black slaves, and some things about yourself will be communicated between you and the overseer!" Sheffield smiled while holding a big pair of scissors to cut his nails, "I didn't expect the Yankee thief to give you the initiative, I really don't know how to write ...... deadly"

Can't I see my cover on my phone?
